Correct Answer: March 20 to September 23

Subject: geography

September 23 to March 20
March 20 to September 23
December 21 to June 21
June 21 to December 21

Explanation: • At the South Pole in Antarctica, continuous night occurs from ~March 20 to ~September 23. • Continuous daylight occurs from ~September 23 to ~March 20. • This phenomenon happens because Antarctica is largely within the Antarctic Circle at the South Pole. • Option A is the period of continuous daylight. C and D are generic solstice dates, not the 6-month cycle start/end points. • March to Sept is summer in Northern Hemisphere, meaning it's dark winter night at the South Pole. • The coldest recorded temperature in Antarctica is -89.2°C at Vostok Station.
